That should not be remarkable. It was just one of those long exhausting, but satisfying days.
It didn't start out so great. Steve discovered a water leak in the laundry room, and then broke the main thingy (have no idea about plumbing stuff) while trying to fix it.
The kids and I needed to evacuate the premises, and I needed coffee. Oh, and I had to brush my teeth.Luckily, Mom & Dad live just down the road, so we piled in on them.
Dad is feeling better every day after having a GI bleed last week. That would not be too dangerous for most people, but he is on blood thinners, so he lost a lot of blood. He is taking iron and recovering from the blood loss. It was just so good to see him playing with the boys, just being Dad.
I made breakfast for everyone, and it was so yummy! Dad went and bought us some country ham, which is one of my favorite things, and it really hit the spot with Mom's homemade Blackberry Jam.
Cadan is sick. He has had a fever for a couple of days now, but no other complaints, so I am pretty sure it is just a virus. He was feeling pretty yucky when we arrived, but once the Motrin kicked in, he was up and about. All the boys were wild, but they are always that way at Nana and Pop Pop's.
I made an awesome beef stew for dinner! It was one of the best things that I have ever made. I did it all from scratch, too. Yum! It was perfect for this cool January evening. I made a big sugar cookie with icing for dessert.
Steve came home before the boys and me. He was resting when I got here. He doesn't have a whole lot of stamina yet, he had another surgery to repair his separated shoulder on January 15th. The accident has really taken it's toll on him, he is about 40 pounds lighter, still. He is doing great though, all things considered.
Wow! It has been a very long time since I have updated my blog! I will try to stay on top of that!
So YAY! I just wanted to share my good day!
